Back Modelling Soccerball Next CREATE DUMMY SECTORS Next step is to create the geometry to be duplicated. First create a simple polygons like dummy sectors. 1. In the TOP view, Add - Mesh - Circle vertices 6) and rotate it in EDIT mode 15 degree to align it with ortho axis. Scale it temporary to 0.5 and send it to layer 3. 2. Create the face from this circle (Choose one vertice, duplicate it and send it to center with SHIFT+S and make close triangles with F key). Press the AXIS button in the Object Tab (F7) to se "where we are".

3. Select Circle and then Sphere 001 and make them parent (CTRL+P hotkey)

4. In Object Tab (F7) press "Dupli Verts", "Rot", "Track Z", "Up Y"

5. Now, scale the circle to align the edges. This circle is the "matrix" for the soccerball 6-gon sectors

1. Similar procedure is for the 5-gons. But rotate angle is 27 degrees instead 15 and DupliVert make with the position "Sphere" (12 vertices). The Circle 001 is the matrix for soccerball 5-gon sectors

Some 5-gons are not in the right position but we will resolve this problem later
